About Kimberly
Kimberly Boogaerts is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arkansas. She brings four years of clinical experience supporting people who face anxiety, stress, trauma, depression, anger, and parenting challenges. Kimberly has worked with a range of ages and backgrounds and leans on that varied experience when planning care.
Her first degree is in elementary education with a minor in early childhood, and she completed a master’s degree that earned her the LPC credential in Texas.
Background and approach
That background informs how she explains ideas plainly and adapts strategies for different stages of life. Kimberly draws from several practical approaches, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices. She aims to meet clients where they are and build a plan that fits each person’s goals and daily life.
Sessions focus on clear skills, small steps, and steady progress rather than jargon. Parents often seek her help when daily stress, strong emotions, or traumatic events make it harder to manage routines or respond calmly. She also supports people dealing with obsessive thoughts, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and grief that follows major loss.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Kimberly emphasizes active skill-building and offers straightforward feedback so clients can notice small changes that add up over time.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Kimberly uses evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness-based strategies. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life experience to reduce anxiety and change behaviors. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing exercises to calm the body and notice emotions without getting swept away by them.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Kimberly works with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and daily life, and she adjusts methods as progress is made. This collaborative process helps clients try practical tools and decide what feels most useful.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for those juggling busy schedules or caregiving. Video calls let people keep face-to-face contact without travel, phone sessions use less bandwidth when needed, and live chat or text-based messaging make brief check-ins or shorter sessions easier to fit into a day. These options can make it simpler to practice skills between sessions and maintain steady momentum toward goals.
